Three Serbian state institutions are among the clients in the Teamnet portfolio: Interior Ministry, Border Police and the Securities Committee.

The Teamnet executive director is Bogdan Padiu. Ghita has founded the company and has represented it until 2012.

In February this year Bogdan Padiu has been prosecuted and detained for abetment in influence peddling and money laundering and setting up an organized criminal group in the file where Sebastian Ghita is prosecuted. Prosecutors say that Ghita would have asked over EUR 50 M from several IT companies to obtain contracts with the state.

Ghita and Padiu had well defined duties within this criminal group. While Ghita was the initiator of the group and used to pretend money from some IT companies rto obtain contracts financed by public money, Padiu, as Teamnet representative and Cristian Anastasescu, Asesoft representative, used to manage the received money and to introduce them in a financial circuit through fictitious documents that made them look legal./IBNA
